En écoutant la pluie [English translation]

I listen to the rain falling down and sigh

Gently it knocks at my window panes

As if thousands of tears reminded me

That I am alone, waiting for him

The only boy I love was unable to understand

That only him matters for me

So near my window I stay and wait

Listening for his footsteps

Rain, oh tell him to come home one day

So that a great love may rise again between us

Past will be nothing more than a sad memory

But if after rain sunshine appears

And warms up his heart

He will finally understand how faithful I've been

And he will come and dry up my tears

How can I tell him I love him so much

And I think of him and my heart is heavy

And for me life without him is useless

I listen to the rain falling down and sigh

Gently it knocks at my window panes

As if thousands of tears reminded me

That I am alone, waiting for him
